BOSTON- NEPONSET RIVER GREENWAY CONSTRUCTION, INCLUDING NEW BRIDGE B-16-309 (C6Y) OVER DORCHESTER BAY

The proposed project includes construction of a 10-foot wide shared-use path with 2-foot shoulders, from Tenean Beach to Morrissey Boulevard, a total distance of approximately 3,600 feet. A 670-foot long boardwalk, including scenic overlooks, will be constructed to convey the path over salt marsh and tidal habitat of the Dorchester Bay. Drainage system improvements, enhanced landscaping, wood guardrail, signs and pavement markings are also proposed. This project is a critical segment in DCR’s long term, multi-phase, plan for the 10.5-mile Neponset River Greenway linking the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton to Mattapan Square and continuing to Castle Island and the Boston Harborwalk.
